scrappy bar quilt.

As promised, here is one of my summer(ish) sewing projects. A friend of mine asked for a baby quilt to gift to her friend's baby girl. I knew that I wanted to do a scrappy quilt and it didn't take me long to decide on which pattern to execute. I modeled it after this quilt from my earlier days of sewing. I mixed it up a bit by cutting each of the 10" lengths of patchwork bars in half and alternating them when I pieced the quilt together. I'm really happy with the result! This style lends itself nicely to the scrappy look I was going for but because there are two rows identical to one another it looks cohesive and purposeful (at least I think so).

You may have noticed that I no longer have that nice siding (as in my blog header) to photograph my quilts on. Yes, I am sad about that...I moved and I no longer have a sun porch that offers so much natural light. I'll be busy brainstorming new places to photograph my work...

It's beautiful, Erica! I love it! I love that no two rows are the same. Such a great way to use up a big ole pile of scraps. Hope your move went well! Good luck finding a new place to photograph your project. I'm always looking for a better spot too!

You're such a talented quilter. I love all the wrinkles! You didn't blog about moving, but I can only imagine how hard it was to move all the sewing stuff. :) We're thinking about moving and it scares me - I've been purging, but still have SO MUCH.
